Complexity of Subtype Satisfiability over Posets
نویسندگان
چکیده
Subtype satisfiability is an important problem for designing advanced subtype systems and subtype-based program analysis algorithms. The problem is well understood if the atomic types form a lattice. However, little is known about subtype satisfiability over posets. In this paper, we investigate algorithms for and the complexity of subtype satisfiability over general posets. We present a uniform treatment of different flavors of subtyping: simple versus recursive types and structural versus non-structural subtype orders. Our results are established through a new connection of subtype constraints and modal logic. As a consequence, we settle a problem left open by Tiuryn and Wand in 1993.

Properties of products for flatness in the category of $S$-posets
This paper is devoted to the study of products of classes of right $S$-posets possessing one of the flatness properties and preservation of such properties under products. Specifically, we characterize a pomonoid $S$ over which its nonempty products as right $S$-posets satisfy some known flatness properties. Generalizing this results, we investigate products of right $S$-posets satisfying Condi...

In this article first of all we describe po-flatness propertie...

In this paper we study the notions of cogenerator and subdirectlyirreducible in the category of S-poset. First we give somenecessary and sufficient conditions for a cogenerator $S$-posets.Then we see that under some conditions, regular injectivityimplies generator and cogenerator. Recalling Birkhoff'sRepresentation Theorem for algebra, we study subdirectlyirreducible S-posets and give this theo...
متن کاملVarious kinds of regular injectivity for $S$-posets
In this paper some properties of weak regular injectivity for $S$-posets, where $S$ is a pomonoid, are studied. The behaviour of different kinds of weak regular injectivity with products, coproducts and direct sums is considered. Also, some characterizations of pomonoids over which all $S$-posets are of some kind of weakly regular injective are obtained. Further, we giv...
متن کاملSubpullbacks and coproducts of $S$-posets
In 2001, S. Bulman-Fleming et al. initiated the study of three flatness properties (weakly kernel flat, principally weakly kernel flat, translation kernel flat) of right acts $A_{S}$ over a monoid $S$ that can be described by means of when the functor $A_{S} otimes -$ preserves pullbacks. In this paper, we extend these results to $S$-posets and present equivalent descriptions of weakly kernel p...
